Ladybird Control in Redbridge: what we see locally
In autumn, harlequin ladybirds gather in large groups to spend the winter in sheltered spots such as window frames, lofts and ceiling corners.
Homes near Epping Forest, Hainault Forest and Wanstead Park see the most. Harlequins can stain paintwork and fabric and leave a smell. We remove the clusters and treat the entry points.
Harlequin ladybirds can stain paintwork and fabric and leave a smell when disturbed. The scent they leave draws more the following autumn, so clusters often grow in the same window frame or loft.
